The 2010 ASID Showcase Home Tour has come and gone. What a great 4 weeks it was! Thank you to all who came to support ASID, the four beneficiaries, and great interior design!
If you didn’t get a chance to go take a peek inside, here are some of our after shots from the front porch at the Isles home…
Porch highlights:
- We sanded down the floor, which was covered in paint, and found Douglas Fir flooring that was original to the home, built in 1908.
- To add color and texture, we applied a navy vinyl floor covering to the ceiling.
- Since the homeowner is a world traveller, we incorporated many of his own pieces into the design.
- We specified furniture from Grange’s new outdoor line from KDR Showrooms.
- All of the fabrics in the space are indoor/outdoor from KDR Showrooms.
- Palm leaf ceiling fans were installed to circulate fresh air.
- Antique furniture pieces and accessories were found at Spinario Design in Northeast Minneapolis.
- A new Waverton Cambria top was fitted to an existing antique Weiman table in the seating area.
What are some of your favorite design features? We’d love to know!
cheers, amber
time is running out!

Hey guys and gals!
Time is running out to see, for the first time in history, TWO ASID Showcase Homes for the price of ONE ticket!
Designers at the Edgewater Condos on Lake Calhoun used their design skills to transform an empty condo shell with no walls, electric or plumbing into a sleek, sophisticated home with a stellar view of the lake. The condo has a luxurious, serene feel that uses blues, greens, and sand tones that were inspired by the nearby lake.
Six blocks away is Dan Buettner’s home on Lake of the Isles Parkway. Dan is an explorer who believes a healthy lifestyle contributes to longevity. His home was designed with these health tips in mind. This home has a lot of flavor and spice; all of the designers incorporated art and artifacts that Dan has collected on his travels around the world.
Don’t forget to stop by! The tour is open NOW- JUNE 13th. Wednesday -Sunday, 10-4pm.
Tickets are available at: http://www.mspmag.com/promotions/wherewe’llbe/asidhometour2010/171678.asp
